King Kalakua's financial fabric would

King Kalakua's financial fabric would
not seem to be based on a very stable
foundation. In fact his royal nibs' way OF
doing business isn't at all popular on the
Island, and more especially with the
Chinese with whom he has been guilty OF
gross duplicity. His methods of swelling
the volume OF the currency to meet the re-
quirements OF his e~xtravagant habits meet
with general condemnation, and there are
heaps OF trouble ahead of him. The people
are arming and it is quite probable that
the king has been kicked out of his barri-
caded palace by this time. For some time
he has not dared to meet his dear subjects
face to face in the street. His time is
spent in the palace which he has had
put in a defensive condition, with port
holes and lannon's Jack OF the embrasures.
The foreign residents had appealed to their
respective governments to send a man-of-
war there for their protection. Whenever
the king goes out OF the palace he is at
tended by his body guard. In the palace
he probably devotes his time to kicking his
loyal subject, by way of expressing his feel
ings. 1t is quite likely that Queen Kapi-
olani noted the gathering storm and fed
from the wrath to come. She certainly
could not have selected a more prcpitious
season for "cousining' with Queen Victoria.
She will strike the Jubilee and avoid the
at home.

John Bright has written a manly acknowl-
edgement to Gladstone, apologizing FIR
having misquoted him. While HI depre
Gates the fact that their political pathway
DIVORCES, he asks Mr.. Gladstone's pardon
for anything harsh he may have said. 1t
is pleasant to see that these two great men,
while they cannot agree on measures of
public policy, to not forget the past pleas
ant relations between them. There should
be none but q fraternal feeling between
them as they pass down the de-
clivity OF life. Bright has fulfilled his
mission but Gladstone yet has q great
work before him for the fulfilling of
which the world hopes he may be spared
We doubt if Mr.. Gladstone would long sur.
vive the success OF his Home Rule policy.
He is now sustained by the Importance of
the issues involved and inspired by the
hope that the right will yet prevail over
the wrong. John Bright has many friends
and admirers in this country. His voice
was always at the command of American
interests, and when they were imperiled,
when the life Of the republic was menaced
by unhallowed alliances, John Bright was
our friend and he was not afraid to avow
his friendship.

Neither Was Held.

Two cases came up in justices courts yes
terday in which there was evidence sufficient
to show that there had been violations of
the peace, but in both cases the defendant
was discharged through the unwi'lingness
OF the complaining witness to testify to the
facts OF which the charges were brought.
They grew out of the quarrel at the Buffalo
mine last Sunday between Rockliff and
Connolly, which was reported in TIE MINER
on Monday. The first case tried was in
Justice ~Lippincott's court, the complain
ing witness being Rockliff. who charged
Connolly with mayhem for biting his
nose that day in the fight that led to the
during the time when Connolly
had him down choking him. Rockliff
would not or could not substantiate the
charge by positive testimony and SO Con-
molly was dis 'harged. At 4 o'clock the

Fell Down the Shaft.

An accident took place yesterday after
noon about 2 o'clock at the Independent
mine at Burlington. From Coroner Ans.
den, who went over there Immediately on
being notified to hold tie inquest, it is
learned that the testimony developed the
facts as follows: Thomas IIartle, a miner,
came up on the bucket. stepped off when it
reached the level of the floor and waved his
hand to the engineer to raise it higher So as
to smut the door. The engineer did so, bring
ing the bucket up three feet above the
mouth of the shaft, and leaving plenty OF
room for the doors to clear it.. Just how
it happened the engineer could not explain.
but the unfortunate man stumbled for
ward just as the bucket was being raised.
and he fell to the bottom of the shaft. He
went down through the platform into the
stump, a distance OF two hundred feet. The
topman also saw the accident, and heard
him say something when he waved his
hand, but did not hear what he said. He
was about so years of age, a native OF
England and has a married daughter and a
brother living in Nebraska.

He Fooled the Police.

A cowboy created some excitement in the
lower end Of town just after dark last even
ing. He was first noticed on East Park
street staggering along under a heavy load
OF bulge and leading his horse. The latter
executed a fandango on some beer barrels
at the edge of the sidewalk once or twice,
and the cowboy and horse were having
quite a circus, when an officer interviewed
the man and told him he would have to
put the animal in the stable or mount him
aud skip out. He chose the latter piece of
advice, and rode off hurting obscene def
ance at the officers. the town and it's inhab.
itants, going east. In a few minutes he was
heard coming back on a dead run uttering
profanity OF the most abhorrent descrip-
ton and yelling. An officer got out in the
middle OF the street as he was going west
and fired in the air TO scare the horse, but
the fake was futile, as tina sort of thing
was no novelty. He went west on Park

Park and Galena to head him off on his
return. But he fooled them by %circline

them on Il tear, When another shot was

THE COLLEGE OF MONTANA.
A VERY Satisfactory Showing Is Made
in Every ReSDect,

From Rev. J.. K. Russell, who returned
from the anniversary OF the College Of Mon
tana at Deer Lodge last evening. a few par
~ticulars were learned of the results OF the
me ting OF the Board OF Trustees. Mr..
Russell began by promising that the con-
cert given by the students on Wednesday
night in the college was the finest he ever
heard. The weather was against the sue
cessful outcome Of the celebration, being
rainy all the time, with the natural accom-
paniment OF such a state of weather in the
shape of mud. On Thursday the Board OF
Trustees met. consisting of w. A. Clarke.
Con. Kohrs, S. E. Larabie, E. l.. Bonner.
Rev. T. j. Lamont of Anaconda, DR.. Nc
MILAN and Rev. E. j. Groenewald of Deer
Lodge and Rev. J. Russell of Butte, Presl-
dent. Those not able to be present were
Governor Hauser. Judge Wade, Ferd. Ken
nett and John Forbis. From the
REPORT Of THE TREASURER,
read at their meeting. Mr.. Russell gathered
that the college closes this year under
more favorable auspices than during it's
previous four years of existence. Receipts
nave met expenses all the way through.
A few hundreds left over from last years
current expenses have been paid. The
Board is divided into three classes, one of
which goes out Of office every year, the
men bers' term of Office being three years.
At the present session the outgoing
members were Messrs. Mcmillan,
Forbis, Groenewald and Hauser, who we're
reelected. F. L. Worden, a member of the
Board; died last year, and one declination
of the nomination left two vacancies, which
were filled by the nomination Of Nelson
Bennett aud j.. NJ. Merrill of Butte, whose
term expires in 1889. The term OF the
class elected expires in 1890.
WHEN THE BOARD WAS REoRGANIzED
". A. Clark was elected President and Rev.
j. R. Russell Vice President of the Board
of Trustees. Professor A. NJ. NATION, Pro-
fessor of Mathematics since the college be-
gan, goes to Bozeman to take charge of
college there, and with his exception the
faculty remains unchanged. The executive
of the Board was instructed to
a successor to DR.. NATION, and
Mr.. Holmes, a brother Of the physician of
that name in Butte, is regarded as the
probable choice. Mr.. Russell added a few
items of interest about Deer Lodge itself.
The depot was being moved from it's old
and would to-day be located at
the west end OF Missouri avenue. At pres
ent a box car served the purpose. The wa
ter in the Deer Lodge river is very high at
Deer Lodge. The viru.ence of the diphthe-
ria epidemic there has abated and there are
no new cases.

The great strike in the Councils vile coke
garians are returning to work at the old
wages and the other men cannot hold out
alone. The chances are that twelve thous.
and men will soon resume work at the old
wages. 1t is to be hoped that this will re.
suit in cheaper coke, but we have little con-
fidence hat it will. The consumers are
not likely to reap any OF the advantages
that come to the producers through the
forcing down of the price of labor.

The days of the narrow gauge railway are
numbered. The Denver & Rio Grande is to
follow the example of the Utah & Northern
and will change it's grade to standard early
in the ensuing season. This will require
new equipment throughout and the work
will cost some six million dollars but it will
eventually pay for itself in the way Of dis
pensing with the breakage of freight. The
change was urged by President Moffatt who
is a progressive. broad-gauge man. When
the D. & r. G.. was built, engineers held to
the theory that it was the only practicable
for a mountain country like Colo
RADIO. But it has since been found that
the broad gauge is available and a
built almost anywhere that the narrow
gauge can and the standard is so much
more convenient. When the change on the
o. e. N. shall have been completed, the
convenience will be noted.

The Northern Pacific is having some
more hard luck. On this occasion it is neal
Bearmouth. where a bridge is washed out.
In the meantime heavy expenditures are
being made daily to clear the debris from
the Mullant tunnel. 1t now appears, how.
ever, that the mining experts who exam
ined it early after the cola pse were correct
in their conclusion that the work should
begin at the top, as the surface will soon be
reached at the rate the loose material is
still caving in. 1t would hardly be safe to
work down from the surface at this stage
OF the repairs in progress.

The Inter State Commerce Commission
and the wire service of the Western Union
Telegraph Company have interpreted the
fourth section OF the new law in such q mys.
ferrous way that a Congress OF constitu-
tional lawyers could hardly hope to un-
ravel it. The Commission appears to have
given it up and left the compliments to ap-
peal to the courts, holding that the carrier
could bear the burden of proof.
